2002 error?

[Becken]

All I can think of this is on SE end cuz if u can login to the lobby server but then get a 2002 going from the lobby to the data server, it has to be at that point between the lobby and the data center

Unfortunately, not quite. You login to the login server and then it refers you to the lobby server. the connection between your PC/PS4 s not rerouted through the login server to the lobby server, your client makes a 'direct' connection to the lobby server. So if the login server is hosted, say, in Japan, it's a completely different routing path for your client to login vs the lobby servers in Canada (aka NA Data Center). So you would be able to talk to the login server, but not necessarily the game servers.

Also, if this problem is not caused by someone using a DDoS attack, it could be a problem with the peering agreement(s) between the ISPs and Level 3 who are the ones that most NA ISPs connect to SE through.

If it's a lapsed peering agreement or a dispute between ISPs there is nothing SE can do about it, except find a way of routing around it, which may involve $$ and cause more lag on our connections - though how it coule be worse than what Level 3 already does is beyond me.

all i know is they better be compensating us for this or something. days not being able to play makes people not want to pay a sub anymore.

You must be new here to make that statement.

The only time SE gives free play time for interrupted service is when they make a mistake that results in several days of interrupted playtime for a large amount of the population of the game, such as during the 2.0 launch when the servers were very unstable for over a week. So don't hold your breath.

Do you also demand refunds from the manufacturer of your car due to road closures as well?

Not going to happen, as it's been a day and only a part of the community is affected, i have not been able to log in all day, due to my main being in NA data center, Not going to start crying for a refund, You may need to relax.
